… the last decade, the carbon intensity of the National Grid, which provides Great Britain’s electricity, fell substantially. From 2014 to 2019, the carbon intensity of 1 kWh of electricity from the National Grid fell from 0.49 kg CO2e to 0.26 kg CO2e, a drop of 52%.13,14 This trend was principally caused by a reduction in burning coal for electricity and an increase in renewable energy sources…
… phase of delivery. In the first phase, energy efficiency and renewable energy measures were deployed across 11 sites including; offices, community centres, Hatfield car park and Slough Bus Station. For example, the building named New Horizon, occupied by the Community Mental Health Team, had LED lighting installed, energy management systems optimised, and 54 rooftop solar PV panels installed. 4.2.6…
… efficient LED bulbs which has significantly reduced energy costs and associated carbon emissions. Emissions from street lighting were 2,657 tonnes CO2e in 2014/15 and fell 58% to 1,112 tonnes CO2e in 2017/18 (see Figure 2). 3.2 RE:FIT Programme The RE:FIT Programme is an energy efficiency and renewable energy refurbishment scheme. The Council has been enacting the programme to improve…
… such as wind power and solar photovoltaic (PV). The calendar year of 2019 had the lowest carbon intensity of electricity on record for Britain and the amount of electricity from low carbon renewable energy exceeded that from fossil fuels for the entire year.15 This progress significantly contributed to reducing SBC’s GHG emissions from electricity which reduced by 34.1% from 2013/14 to 2018/19.
